1986 Utah SSP Rescue

Did you get the tires online and a good deal for all 4? Or did you get them locally?

Cobra Jet,

I got them local. A friend of mine at a small shop offered me a competitive price. Hopefully this next weekend I can take it for a 30 minute ride or so and really begin to enjoy this thing.

So, heater core replacement is almost done. Definitely a painful job for someone as inexperienced as I am. I’m still getting a few drops from the drain hole. I’m hoping that’s just residual in the heater box. The heat definitely blows hot and no more smoke/steam from the vents and dash. Still hoping to replace the rear main before Foxtoberfest. Looking less likely though.

Well, I got lucky and got some lift time at a garage a friend works at. I was able to replace a leaking rear main seal, install a new FRPP clutch kit, and FRPP steel input shaft bearing retainer. Very productive day right before the 500 miles to Foxtoberfest!

How was your journey?

Did you get any images from Foxtoberfest that can be shared here in a different post of the SSP’s in attendance?
